What I don't understand is that this "theory" seems really easy to disprove. Why do things travel down instead of up or right or left?

a) The earth is not flat.
b) The earth has a massive molten ball of iron at it's core and is pulling everything toward it.
c) Look at any galaxy. They all form a ball in the middle and all its stars are pulled towards the core.
No matter where you go on the surface, you will always experience (relatively) the same force and therefore you cannot escape gravity's pull. Water is pulled in the same manner which is why it curves around the ball surface, like an ocean. The earth has no edge. If it did, it would collapse under its own weight. as the mass in the center would find the weakest part of the edge and rip it off. Eventually, all the edges would fold in on itself and form a ball - in its attempt to find its 'equalibreum'
